§ 38. Mr. Randallasked the Minister of Transport if increased accommodation will be provided for passengers on the 5.53 a.m. train from Exchange Station, Liverpool, to Todmorden, owing to the acute congestion between Blackburn and Accrington.
§ Mr. BarnesI understand that it is on the 6.45 a.m. train from Preston to Todmorden, with which the 5.53 a.m. train from Liverpool to Blackpool connects, that congestion sometimes occurs. Since 3rd July, whenever rolling stock permits, this train has been strengthened by an extra coach, which meets the requirements of the traffic.
